Ndiyamthanda utitshala wam.
Mhle, ufundisa kakuhle, unobuntu aze abe nomonde.
Namhlanje, uziphothe kakuhle kakhulu iinwele zakhe.
Ufake namaso anemibala emihle kakhulu.
Khawubuke amaso akhe, aluhlaza, namhlophe, nabomvu, namthubi.
Mama, ndicela uphothe iinwele zam, nam ndifane notitshala.
Ukuba bendimdala bendiza kunxiba amaso ezinweleni zam.
Nam ndiyakurhalela ukuba mhle ndifane notitshala wam!
